After Yun Rou entered the spa, Gu Xue immediately felt a sense of contempt towards the spa that she had praised so much about earlier on. “Let’s not visit this place anymore. I’m going to cancel my membership. If Yun Rou fancies to this place, it’s too low-class for us!”
Xu Weilai shook her head and laughed at her childish words, but went along and asked, “Where are we going to then?”
Gu Xue rolled her black pupils and declared, “We’ll go to another spa facility. Let’s go to its competitor that’s right across the street!”
“Sure.”
Only then was Gu Xue contented. Holding on to Xu Weilai’s arm, they turn and left.
The two of them booked a three-hour full-body treatment session and laid down to be massaged by the physiotherapist. During the massage, Gu Xue turned around a few times and seemed as if she wanted to say something but stopped on second thought.
Xu Weilai quickly noticed it and when she turned around again, Xu Weilai asked, “Xiao Xue, is there something that you want to say? Just speak your mind.”
As Gu Xue was not a person who could keep things to herself, she could no longer hold it in and whispered, “Sister-in-law, don’t take what Yun Rou said just now to heart. It’s just sour grapes. She’s deliberately trying to annoy you.”
Xu Weilai smiled and assured, “I know.”
“You must have faith in Brother Yu. I won’t be wrong about him. You’re the only one whom he likes now. Wait, that’s not right. You’re the only person whom he has ever liked.”
“Oh? ” Xu Weilai gasped faintly before she questioned, “How could you be so sure?”
Gu Xue would certainly be aware of what happened between Gu Yu and Yun Rou in the past. Moreover, everyone else also said that they were previously in a relationship.
However, Gu Xue stubbornly insisted, “My sixth sense is very accurate.”
Xu Weilai understood her good intentions and did not rebut any further. “Alright, I believe in your sixth sense,” she assured and nodded.
Gu Xue suddenly felt shy and quickly turned her face aside when it flushed red.
…
After their treatment, Xu Weilai sent Gu Xue home before she drove back to her apartment. When she entered the house with Gu Xue’s gifts, bumped into Assistant Lin who was just about to leave.
“Young Mistress, you’re back!” Assistant Lin greeted her before he said, “I’m here to send you the dress, shoes and jewellery that you’ll be wearing for the birthday banquet.”
After a pause, he added, “CEO Gu specifically got it tailored for you.”
Xu Weilai felt a sense of glee when she heard this and nodded before she said, “Thanks a lot.”
After Assistant Lin left, Xu Weilai changed her shoes and entered the house. The moment she walked into her bedroom, she spotted the dress, shoes, and jewellery on the coffee table.
She then placed her bag and gifts down before she walked over to change into the dress. After she put on the jewellery and slipped into the stilettos, Xu Weilai pulled her hair up into a casual bun and walked over to check herself out in the full-length mirror. The dress suited her well, for it highlighted all her assets and made her skin seem as fair as snow. She looked as gorgeous as a fairy.
Xu Weilai could not help but twirl smugly and admire the way which her dress fluttered.
Without her realising, Gu Yu was already outside the bedroom. Leaning against the door, he observed her from the corner of his jet black pupils and there was a dark expression in his eyes.
Xu Weilai saw him through the mirror and turned to face him before she cocked her head and asked coquettishly, “Do I look good?”
Gu Yu lightly calmly, “Yes.”
Xu Weilai blinked and asked again, “Which is prettier, me or the clothes?”
“The clothes look good.”
Xu Weilai was rendered speechless
“You look even better,” he added.
Xu Weilai smiled when she heard this and her eyes shone as bright as the stars.
…
The birthday banquet was held at the Gu family manor on Saturday, 8 p.m and all sorts of luxury cars were parked at its entrance.
Xu Weilai held onto Gu Yu’s arm and took a deep breath before she followed after him and entered the line of sight of the guests.
